There are so many at least's I get. At least you don't have to deal with this. At least you don't do that. It's not an every now and then thing. It's all the time.

I just hear sentences starting with at least that it almost sounds like a ritual.

Sometimes people think they are being helpful without realizing that they are hurting the person when they say that statement.
